COVID-19 INHERENT RISKS. According to the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”), COVID-19, is a respiratory illness thought to spread mainly between people who are in proximity with one another, through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or merely breathes, that can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It is widely known that people with mild or even no symptoms may be able to spread the virus. The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads very easily and sustainably between people. Information from the CDC indicates this virus is more contagious than influenza (the flu), which is itself highly contagious. The CDC also advises a person may contract the virus that causes COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes.

  • Skrillex Bio 2021
    SKRILLEX BIO 2021 Sonny Moore aka Skrillex is a 33 year old record producer, DJ, musician, singer and songwriter hailing from Los Angeles who has won 8 Grammy Awards, been named MTV’s Electronic Dance Music Artist of the Year, and holds the record for most Grammys won by an electronic artist. He’s headlined arenas and festivals globally and graced the covers of magazine heavyweights like Rolling Stone and Wired. His collaborations include Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, FKA Twigs, Kid Cudi, Boys Noize, A$AP Rocky, and Diplo among countless others. Jack Ü, his project with Diplo, had their eponymous album reach #1 on the US Dance charts, with their track “Where Are Ü Now” feat. Justin Bieber going 4x platinum. Skrillex linked with Bieber again for the 8x platinum “Sorry”, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His label, OWSLA, has launched the careers of some of the most powerful names in electronic music, including Marshmello, Zedd, Porter Robinson, and Mija. He later worked with friend/cult filmmaker Harmony Korine by scoring his critically acclaimed Spring Breakers movie and composed an original track for Pixar’s Wreck It Ralph. He simultaneously penned one of the biggest club hits of the year with A$AP Rocky (Wild For The Night) and dropped his first fashion collaboration with G-Star (it sold out globally in a matter of days). Skrillex took some much needed time off from a never ceasing touring schedule to enjoy some time split between Tokyo and Los Angeles for a creative sabbatical, where he is currently finishing up a trove of new music.

  • Music Review
    6/14/2017 Rich text editor, grade_submission_feedback_comment, press ALT 0 for help. < I like this a lot, but it feels .. heavy. Even the lede sentence is soooo long. Is there a way you can lighten it up a little? Be careful about overdoing it. There are so few albums that are really ABOVE, you know? And we need a little old school in here because I don't know any of the references you make. The past year in popular music has fostered the explosion of Electronic Dance Music and a new generation of neon­clad ravers in America, taking the music from its roots in the clubs and abandoned warehouses of inner cities and dropping it on festival stages big and bright enough to see from space. As tidal waves of young, talented artists, and veterans alike, fight for their share of the spotlight, Russian­German producer Anton Zaslovski, better known as Zedd, has separated himself from the heard with his gut­punching electro­house style and the genre’s most anticipated full­length album release since it’s rise into the American mainstream, his debut record, Clarity. After sending OWSLA record label head honcho and dubstep king, Skrillex, a sample of his work in 2011, Zedd punched his ticket straight to the top of the game. Although Clarity is the artist’s first studio album, it’s seamless flow from track to track and heavy electro influences point to a musician wise beyond his years. Traditionally, EDM has been a genre dominated by single releases with many artists struggling to create cohesive full­length albums that make any sort of lasting impression on listeners.

  • Application of Automatic Speech Recognition Technologies to Singing
    Technische Universit¨at Ilmenau Fakult¨at fur¨ Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik Application of Automatic Speech Recognition Technologies to Singing Doctoral Thesis Submitted by: Anna Marie Kruspe Date & place of birth: July 6, 1987, Halle/Saale Submission date: May 8, 2018 Defense date: July 9, 2018 Course of study: Media Technology Matriculation Number: 39909 Advisor: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. rer. nat. h.c. mult. Karlheinz Brandenburg Reviewers: Prof. Masataka Goto Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Stober urn:nbn:de:gbv:ilm1-2018000226 Abstract The research field of Music Information Retrieval is concerned with the automatic analysis of musical characteristics. One aspect that has not received much attention so far is the automatic analysis of sung lyrics. On the other hand, the field of Automatic Speech Recognition has produced many methods for the automatic analysis of speech, but those have rarely been employed for singing. This thesis analyzes the feasibility of applying various speech recognition methods to singing, and suggests adaptations. In addition, the routes to practical applications for these systems are described. Five tasks are considered: Phoneme recognition, language identification, keyword spotting, lyrics-to-audio alignment, and retrieval of lyrics from sung queries. The main bottleneck in almost all of these tasks lies in the recognition of phonemes from sung audio. Conventional models trained on speech do not perform well when applied to singing. Training models on singing is difficult due to a lack of annotated data. This thesis offers two approaches for generating such data sets. For the first one, speech recordings are made more \song-like". In the second approach, textual lyrics are automatically aligned to an existing singing data set.
